(I'm of age). I also drank Friday and Saturday...approx. 3 or 4 glasses of whiskey and coke....all of those nights. Well a couple of hours ago before bedtime, I got a massive headache. It was hurting so bad I wanted to cry. So stupidly, I took three ibuprofens...I know; I shouldn't take medicine while drinking....well, I think something is happening to me. I talked to my bf on the phone and felt sorta sick at my stomach...didnt think anything of it. Well the pain only got worse as I tried to sleep. Here I am at 3:20am and my stomach has sharp pains and I'm freaking out.....I read the bottle about ten minutes ago and it mentioned something about stomach bleeding....is this a possibility right now????? Please help.

The best thing to do is drink lots of water to help in the process you are more than likely dehydrated from the alcohol anyway. If you have to drink alcohol in the future try eating some food first "very important" and drinking lots of water before during and after you consume alcohol which is also "very important" if you follow this the chances of having headaches and nausea are greatly reduced. But always remember to be careful not to take any meds while alcohol is in your system and if you must then drink lots of water. I know every bit of this already; I was just stupid this time around.

MetalMouthMilkdeeni Posted at 12:32 am on Mar. 11, 2008 a tale tale sign of stomach bleeding is black stool. if u have black stool, eat some cheese, with cig tobacco wrapped in it. (it helps ALOT!!) Black stool also means an ulcer.. Ibuprofens cause them, as with spicy foods. Call ur doc tomorrow and make an appointment. I have an ulcer, so I know how to make it better if u have milk, drink it. it will calm u down a little too. warm it up if possible.

I usually take two or three Advils with my alcohol so that I don't have to bother with pain from my kidney. That never killed me. All 13 previous replies displayed.
